Happy Birthday to Antoine’s, New Orleans’ landmark restaurant celebrating its 175th anniversary this year! Antoine’s has more to celebrate than just a big birthday. Ten years ago, Katrina wreaked $16 million in destruction on the historic restaurant. Antoine’s re-opened its satellite dining rooms on New Year’s Eve 2005, and they’ve invested $10 million in renovations, still ongoing. “Family by family, business by business, New Orleans got rebuilt despite all the political squabbling,” says Rick Blount, Antoine’s CEO. Toast that resilience with this iconic Crescent City dish.
